Seven Ozark Band Students Receive All-State Honors

After months of dedication, practice, and performance, Ozark High School is proud to announce that seven of its talented band students have been selected for the 2025 Missouri All-State Band.

“This year we had 44 eligible All-state auditions, the highest number in our district,” Band Teacher Katie Ford said. “We had record numbers of students receive call-backs in the jazz area, and many in the concert area.  Our students worked extremely hard and represented Ozark very well.” 

The students first earned a spot in the All-District Band, which qualified them to audition for the prestigious All-State Band.

Please join us in congratulating our All-State Band students:

• Sebastian Benedict (All-State Band Trombone & All-State Jazz Band Honorable Mention Trombone)
• Audrey Bonucchi (All-State Band 1st Alternate Piccolo)
• Josie Mills (All-State Band 2nd Alternate Bass Clarinet)
• Abby Harmon (All-State Band Honorable Mention French Horn)
• Quentin Meyer (All-State Band Honorable Mention French Horn)
• Reagan Gale (All-State Band Honorable Mention French Horn)
• Oliver Bonucchi (All-State Band Honorable Mention Trombone)

We are so proud of these students and the hard work, dedication, and talent that got them to this amazing achievement!
